In the heart of Banff National Park, you’ll find the pristine, sky blue Lake Louise with The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise on its shore.

Undoubtedly set in one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, this historic luxury resort is a popular choice amongst brides and grooms, as well as travelers to the region.

The journey to the resort is a beautiful experience in and of itself. The scenic drive takes you past snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks, glacial melt rivers, mammoth glaciers and icefields and a variety of resident wildlife.

When you arrive, you’ll probably just have to look around and gather yourself for a minute because the view is so breathtaking.

Take your pick from the elegant and polished, yet relaxed and inviting guest rooms. Comfortable guestrooms, suites, specialty rooms and primo Fairmont GOLD rooms are available at this Fairmont location.

The Fairmont GOLD rooms are part of a six million dollar expansion that was completed in 2008. Something of a hotel within the hotel, these rooms are the finest suites in the Rocky Mountains and offer a high level of personalized service.

Also on grounds, you can let go of every last bit of tension at the Escape Spa & Salon and dine in a variety of delicious restaurants!

The resort also offers excursions and programs for guests wanting to get to know the area. The Mountain Heritage program has guests taking guided casual walks around the lakes, and hiking and mountaineering the tallest peaks and deepest canyons.
